西海岸冷爵士 · West Coast Cool Jazz

G E M L E E

In homage to Chet Baker and Paul Desmond — two of the musicians I love most. I don’t presume to bring you into their world; I only wanted to see whether I could open the door, even a little. 向 Chet Baker 与 Paul Desmond 致敬——我最喜爱的两位爵士乐手。万古长空，一朝风月。

面对人群 · Facing the Crowd

Composure, and the solitude beneath it · Inspired by Wang Xiaoshuai & Zhang Chu

Eight pieces about the face you keep while walking through a crowd. Two voices alternate: a dark trumpet (the inner — lonely, unwilling to be seen) and a suave alto sax (the surface — composed, pretending nothing's wrong). The mask goes down, and back up. By the fifth piece it comes all the way off; then, slowly, you stand and walk on.

时间的缝隙 · The Gaps in Time

From three in the afternoon to two after midnight

Six pieces. The city runs on a schedule — but there are gaps. The hour after the meeting ends, the tram ride at dusk, the corner of a bar at midnight when you're in no hurry to go anywhere. These pieces live in those gaps.
